Help! Least obstructed Ocean View on Pearl?

[lasnev]

I would really appreciate any insight on obstructed Ocean View on the Pearl. Which ones are the least obstructed other than the first three up front?

Thanks again!!!

Curious as well! I have 8598 and 8600 booked.

Bumping to ask how rooms 8598 and 8600 were on your Alaska sailing. I have 8598 as of now.

Well it has been a while since you posted this question and received no responses, so I have 8598 booked for a cruise starting in April 2015 and I would love to hear your comments on this room.

 

Thanks in advance for sharing this info.

Hi, I was wondering how these rooms were? I have both booked for a Panama Canal cruise and would love to be able to look out the window as we go through the locks :)

I just returned from my Pearl cruise in 8600, and the view was great! I think 8598 would be a very similar view. It's behind one of the smaller lifeboats so the view out is near perfect. There are no metal structures in the way blocking the outward view. You're just unable to look down to the water. When I get home from work I'll post a picture.

 

We were VERY happy with and pleasantly surprised by the view we had, and we wouldn't hesitate to stay in this room again in the future.

 

ginluv18, for the locks, however, I do not know if it would be great as I imagine since the canal is so tight that you would want to look down to see the mechanics. My cruise was to Alaska so most of the view were the mountains on the horizon, so the view was great.

Thank you so much for the response! Now I'm really excited! We need the obstructed view because my mother needs handicapped access and we were allowed to stay next door to her--I heard the room is much larger than a standard room. I will definitely be on the deck for the locks passage--I'm more interested in just having a view while at sea or at dock. I can't wait to see the pics!

Here are the pics. Sorry for the delay.

Enjoy your cruise! The Pearl is a beauty.

Pics look great! My mom will definitely have room for her wheelchair/scooter and I can get a crib for my one year old. :) Thanks so much!
